Stop by our flooring showroom in Rochester to explore our flooring products and options to find the perfect carpet for your space.
Shopping for carpet is often overwhelming, but it shouldn’t be. Start by considering these essentials:
Carpet Types
The way a carpet is constructed impacts how it looks and performs. Whether you’re shopping for a family room, office or apartment complex, understanding the pile type helps you make the right choice.
Cut pile carpet is known for its soft, upright fibers. The ends are sheared to create a smooth surface that feels plush underfoot. The tighter the twist of fibers, the more resistant the carpet is to crushing and matting, which is ideal for busy homes.
Loop pile carpet features uncut loops of yarn, which provides a durable and textured surface. It’s a smart option for high-traffic areas because the design can help hide footprints and vacuum marks while providing excellent wear resistance.Loop piles are widely used for stair carpets.
This carpet combines the other two options. The mix of cut and uncut loops creates visual patterns and dimension, while giving your flooring a sense of depth and interest.
Carpet tiles give spaces the flexibility they need. That’s because they’re easy to install and remove and can be replaced individually if needed. That makes them a great option for basements, rental properties and commercial applications.
Carpet Styles
At Hamernick’s Rochester showroom, we carry the newest carpet designs from trusted brands. Whether you’re going for casual comfort or refined luxury, there’s something for everyone.
This classic carpet option has long, evenly cut fibers that provide a soft and elegant look.
Smooth and velvety, plush carpet gives a room refined formal feel, but it can show footprints fairly easily.
Sometimes called “twist” or “shag” carpet, this style has tightly twisted fibers that provide a modern, textured appearance that hides wear well.
Made with loops of the same height, level loop carpet is durable, but tends to have less visible patterns. It’s a great choice for high-traffic areas.
Sisal-style carpets feature straight rows of loops that create distinct patterns. Meanwhile, Berber carpets are thicker with visible loops that bring texture and resilience to any room.
Carpet Benefits
At Hamernick’s, we understand that carpet is a unique type of flooring because it makes any home feel comfortable and welcoming. That’s why we offer a variety of durable, high-quality carpet options designed for residential and commercial spaces in Rochester.
Carpet fibers trap dust and allergens, which prevents them from circulating through your air. With regular vacuuming and proper carpet cleaning, it’s easy to keep your home fresh and comfortable.
Our collection includes Shaw carpets with advanced R2X® stain and soil protection and LifeGuard® spill-proof backing. These systems protect carpet fibers from spills and messes so your carpet stays cleaner for longer.
The majority of today’s carpets are made from recycled materials, which helps reduce plastic waste. These eco-conscious options combine sustainability with softness, durability and beautiful design.
Even today, carpet is one of the most cost-effective flooring solutions. It’s also available at a wide range of price points.
Carpet Padding
Any great carpet has padding underneath. While often overlooked, the right padding can make a huge difference when it comes to comfort, insulation and longevity.
Carpet padding effectively absorbs impact, reduces noise and helps your carpet last longer by preventing premature wear. Opting for thicker padding offers additional cushion and support. Meanwhile, designer pads offer additional durability in high-traffic areas.
At Hamernick’s we provide a variety of high-quality padding options from top brands like Shaw. Our team will help you find the best pad based on your carpet type, room usage and budget.

Questions? We Got You Covered.
What type of carpet works best for high-traffic areas?
Loop pile carpets such as Berber are great for hallways and family rooms since they resist wear and crushing.
What is carpet padding and why is it important?
Carpet padding provides cushioning, sound insulation and additional durability. It also helps your carpet last longer by reducing the strain on the fibers.
What's the difference between cut pile, loop pile and cut & loop carpets?
When choosing carpet, you have to consider every carpet option. Cut pile has soft, exposed fibers for comfort, loop pile is more durable for busy areas and cut & loop combines the two for added texture and style.
Are your carpets stain-resistant and eco-friendly?
Of course! We carry Shaw carpets with built-in stain protection systems and waterproof backings and eco-friendly options made from recycled materials.
Can carpet tiles be used in homes or are they just for commercial spaces?
Carpet tiles are great commercial flooring options, but like hardwood, laminate, vinyl and traditional tile, you can also use them in your home. Because they’re easy to install, replace and maintain, they thrive in basements, offices and playrooms.
